Buddleia davidii 'Bicolor'
Common Name: Butterfly Bush - Bicolor Butterfly Bush
Bi-color is the first butterfly bush to feature multiple colours on each bloom. Flowers produce striking clusters of purple buds, which open to reveal bicoloured fragrant blooms in variable shades of purple and orange, fading to bronze as the flowers matures. Prefers full sun to partial shade in well drained soil.
Plant Care: Buddleia frequently die all the way back to the ground in northern winters, it is best to cut back all of the old wood to about 12" in the spring. Doing so will result in more compact plants. They will quickly grow back to their normal height by fall and will flower just as prolifically in late summer since they bloom on new wood.
